Abstract (en)

According to certain embodiments, a device (100) comprises a body (101), a mechanical propulsion system (102) affixed to the body (101) to cause the body (101) to traverse a multi-oriented surface (120) and to prevent contact between the body (101) and the multi-oriented surface (120), a thrust system (104) to apply a thrust force to the device (100) that opposes a gravitational force acting on the device (100), and a payload (105) with at least one sensor to detect characteristics of the multi-oriented surface (120).
